““ ‘Jurisdiction of the subject matter is the power to hear and determine cases of the general class to which the proceedings in question belong; the power to deal with the general subject involved in the action; and means not simply jurisdiction of the particular case then occupying the attention of the court but jurisdiction of the class of cases to which the particular case belongs, the authority to hear and determine both the class of actions to which the action before the court belongs and the particular question which it assumes to determine. “Jurisdiction over the subject-matter” means the nature of the cause of action and relief sought, and such jurisdiction is conferred by the sovereign authority which organizes the court and is to be sought for in the general nature of the court’s powers or in the authority especially conferred on the court. . . .’ 21 C. J. S., Courts, pp. 36, 37, sec. 23.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
